Tasting Notes
"The aroma leans towards a nutty, oak profile with dark chocolate and vanilla. The body is moderately full and the flavors are peppery and oak driven. The dry cabernet sauvignon wine flavors surround the bourbon, but don't overpower those flavors. It's a bit chewy and dry, but not too dry and the flavors end on a bittersweet note. It's a bit hot at this proof so would recommend to add a splash of water to bring out a bit more sweetness and balance."
